<p>[QUOTE="Lukkyseven, post: 1232047, member: 32056"]So I bought this coin from a seller with about 40 feedback. They listed it as a 50-d Proof and the photo was super blurry. I could clearly tell it was toned and no one was bidding on it. I knew at a bare minimum it was a BU 50-d so I would break even if I had to resell it. </p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is the fact that it was inproperly listed as a Proof and horrible pictures is the reason no one was interested. After shipping I paid $12 for this coin. I'm only posting it here because I cleaned out my cameras HD card and figured I'd share it. The coin has great luster, and the toning in direct sunlight is phenominal (even better than these pictures). The toning goes further into the center than here (the purple and blues are much stronger) and the rim toning is more dramatic. The only real issue I have is the two very minor carbon spots.
